No Search Warrant Needed To Track Cell Phones In Md.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Do police need a warrant to track your cell phone? It’s a question that’s been at the center of a nationwide debate. After months of controversy, a major decision is made, making the law clear in Maryland.

Rick Ritter breaks down the ruling from one of the highest federal courts.

The ruling means no search warrant is needed to track your cell phone. Just a court order clears the way for police to obtain your cell phone information if it’s needed for an investigation.

From a simple call to a text, even just walking around on your phone. It’s cell data that’s now easier for police to obtain if you’re a prime suspect.

They can come into your house with a warrant, so you mind as well let them track your phone with no warrant, they do that nationally anyway...

But this is a special kind of thanks to all those who don't give two shits about their rights, and who think they have the right to have my rights taken away...

Anyone that's dumb enough to have an actual phone that traceable or dumb enough to not realize they can track your whereabouts off your phones cell tower location needs to be caught. If your going to dirt be a little smarter

Although this does seem like a major violation of my rights I solve this problem by...not being a criminal. There's a thing called encryption built into your phones, I suggest you use it. It's what made the San Bernardino shooter's phone so hard to get into.

Why do we have a constitution? Are we even a legitimate country if we don't follow our own laws? Why have courts at all? Just let the cops be judge, jury, and executioner. They already kill citizens with impunity and no fear of consequences. This country is on a path to failure and ruin. I just hope to live long enough to witness the revolution where we as citizens rise up and remove all the corruption and scum from the govt. I know its just a dream but at this point its all we can do. And for those who dont think it's possible look up what Iceland did in the last 6 years. They jailed bankers, politicians, told the IMF to suck it, rewrote their constitution, and are doing extremely well now. It can be done people. You just have to be determined. But with all the lazy worthless liberals in this country that won't be satisfied until we are the next Argentina or Chile, it will probably never happen. Keep cheering dems. Your utopia is not far away. The question is will you be satisfied then or keep taking us back to the stone age?

Keep your head down and prepare for the worst. Hope for the best.

My assumption is it will get much worse. These folks are Communists. We have no sway with them.

We are goy. Cattle. Useless eaters.
